Health care providers may be able to see your record on line from anywhere and any time such as in an accident or emergency.

Registered General practices and Hospitals can access your My Health record when providing health care to you.

Its all there!

Importantly ,YOU control who sees what information in your MY Health Record.# You always have the control.# Your information is not disclosed to anyone else.
# You can access on line yourself your medical information anytime!

From the 15th November 2018 , all patients will automatically have a MY HEALTH record, unless you opt out by contacting MyGov.
